Eligibility, licensing, and location restrictions can change. Always confirm details on the source posting before applying.

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering only as an entry point into a health system or as a bridge role for healthcare graduates, IMGs needing US clinical exposure, or pre-nursing/pre-PA candidates. Established doctors, nurses, or pharmacists would be significantly overqualified and should look elsewhere.

Who should apply

Healthcare graduates and pre-health students seeking clinical hours, IMGs wanting US health-system experience and EMR familiarity, certified Medical Assistants targeting a neurosurgery specialty, and career-changers entering ambulatory care.

CV angle

Lead with any hands-on patient-facing experience: vitals, rooming, charting in Epic/Cerner, patient education, scheduling, and multi-provider coordination. For IMGs or international clinicians, frame prior clinical training as transferable clinical knowledge and EMR/team-based care readiness — do not present it as physician-level practice. Highlight specialty exposure to neurology/neurosurgery, spine, or surgical clinics if present.

Skills to highlight

  • Patient intake and vital signs
  • EMR/EHR documentation (Epic, Cerner)
  • Multi-provider clinic coordination
  • Appointment scheduling and referrals
  • Patient education and communication
  • Infection control and clinical safety
  • Specialty (neurosurgery/neurology) exposure
